Re: how to defeat the Atheist

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna

I think that proving that they are unreasonable and unintelligent through different arguments. Controlling the flow of the conversation, being strong and forceful.Prabhupada used to say all living things in this world come from other living things, in no case is life made from matter. So it would be unreasonable and unintelligent to think some higher living entity is not  responsible for this vast creation. Things are going on so nicely, the sun gives the perfect amount of energy to sustain life, clouds give their rain so grains grow, etc.

For the most part I believe that atheists deep down do believe in God or sense a higher power, but because of past karma they have come to despise and refuse to accept Him. Even if one can defeat an atheist they more than likely will still not accept God, unless they are fortunate. Prabhupada always used to expose such fools and show that they clearly didn't know what they were talking about and are clearly mad. At the time of death, they will believe in God's power, that we can assure them.
